Job for experienced RN?

Published

Is there a hiring freeze in the Dayton/Cincinnati area? Any hospitals in the area doing any hiring? Anyone know the rate of pay in those areas? I'm moving back to Ohio from out of state. Thanks for the info!:typing

Specializes in lots of specialties.

ILL TELL YOU i HAVE HAD A HARD TIME FINDING A JOB. MOST ALL HOSPITALS HAVE HIRING FREEZES ON RIGHT NOW...UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE HAS SOMETHING MORE TO ADD.

I too am still looking but i am a new grad. There seem to be openings, maybe not in acute care hospitals but there seem to be opening s and everyone seems to prefer experienced nurses to us so i would be optimistic, apply widely and be proactive about it. Good luck!

I'm at Univ Hosp in Cincy and I believe they're hiring in many units/floors because we're losing staff to school, travel nsg, families, etc. Earlier this year I think we froze hiring of new grads or at least unlicensed new grads, esp in to the ICUs, unless they had completed some sort of internship. That may have been lifted by now as I sat in on an interview with a new grad for our unit yesterday. Exp RNs should have a better chance because they are cheaper to train and get to work quicker than the orientation of a new grad. Healthcare suffers in this economy just as much as any other industry, unfortunately, IMO.

good luck to you all~
